F1 The Movie
(2025)
|
Nathaniel Fetalvero
|
Go for the incredible ride and the stunning craftsmanship on display, but temper your expectations of the story. There is no emotional epiphany to be had, but you will get one hell of a show.

Disney's Snow White
(2025)
|
Jaden Darrius Png
|
A soulless modernisation of the original, so predictable I could often guess the next line of dialogue. Families and die-hard fans might enjoy it, but others should probably look elsewhere.

Captain America: Brave New World
(2025)
|
Jaden Darrius Png
|
While not very exciting, it isn't terrible either, so it unfortunately ends up in the category of movies to watch while on a plane or if you have nothing else to do. If you are a Marvel fan... you should definitely give it a watch.

Mufasa: The Lion King
(2024)
|
Nathaniel Fetalvero
|
Mufasa: The Lion King is a roaring triumph, a prequel that doesn't just rehash the old but adds something truly special to the Lion King legacy. It's not flawless, but it beats the 2019 remake paws down.

Red One isn't a cinematic masterpiece and suffers from Johnson's predictable performance. However, thanks to Evans' charm, the film delivers on its promise of entertaining escapism with plenty of action and holiday cheer.

Blink Twice
(2024)

Nathaniel Fetalvero

A visually impressive and suspenseful thriller that marks a promising directorial debut for Zoë Kravitz. However, its captivating aesthetic and strong performances can't entirely salvage a narrative that relies heavily on genre tropes.

A pure popcorn flick designed to entertain, and it succeeds with flying, bloody colours. It's a wild ride from start to finish, packed with action, laughs, and enough meta-references to satisfy even the most jaded comic book movie fan.

The Sin leaves an indelible mark on the psyche and makes one question who the true monsters are. Not only does the finale defy expectations, audiences will be left feeling gobsmacked and maybe even a little mindblown.

While it benefits from strong performances by Zong and Kuo, moments of inspired direction, and an entertaining blend of genres, these positives are overshadowed by a muddled script and inconsistent production values.

Even if you didn’t watch the 2015 film, you might enjoy this latest one anyway, with its fast-paced, nail-biting action sequences sure to leave you in awe for at least the latter two-thirds of the movie’s two-and-a-half-hour duration.

Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle will make for an entertaining viewing experience for long-time followers of the anime... But if the names Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobio mean nothing to you, you probably can give this a miss.

It's great to see a Marvel film that has a balance between the director's style and the needs of the studio. It's great to see a Marvel film that pops with colour and feels close to its comic book origins without being too obvious.
